SCALE

 

Description: This function allows the user to scale selected surfaces with respect to any axis (global or local) using magnification factors in the X, Y, or Z (U, V, or W) directions.  A scale factor greater than 1 will magnify the surface, whereas a scale factor less than 1 will reduce the surface.

 

Usage:

 

1.   DSI prompts the user to select the surfaces.

 

2.   Once the surfaces have been selected, DSI prompts the user to create a local coordinate system.  The user also has the option to select the global coordinate system.  (Refer to Local Coordinate System, Section 2.16, for a thorough explanation of this procedure.)

 

3.   Once the desired coordinate system has been defined, DSI prompts:

>       ENTER X,Y,Z SCALE FACTOR, OR E TO EXIT

•     This scales the surface.
